Following the launch of the new Pioneer Pro DJ DVJ-X1 unit in March 2004 at the Musikmesse Show in Germany, the Pioneer Pro DJ team has joined forces with Space, Ibiza and the UK's DJ Magazine to create a dramatically different club experience taking place on Sunday 3 October.
Advancing upon the freedom of expression the CDJs provided; Pioneer Pro DJ's DVJ-X1 unit allows DJs to play DVDs of tracks, for which they have prepared suitable visuals, and to affect them spontaneously in real time. Blurring the boundaries between audio and visual art forms within one unit, this technology is set to enhance the existing experience of club goers worldwide. Pioneer Pro DJ's groundbreakers include: Sander Kleinenberg, James Zabiela, Jeff Mills and Dan Tait.
DJ Dan Tait, has worked closely with the Pioneer Pro DJ product development team for the past two years, and is also a graphic designer by day. He therefore has the skills to make a genuine audio-visual impact with this evolving technology. As such Dan will play 90 minutes of tracks, accompanied by visuals, from the DVJ machine. This unique event is thought to be the first ever set played entirely using DVJ's, and will feature content exclusively created by Tait and other artists. Dan will be playing inside the discoteca at the Space Closing Party, alongside countless world-class DJs such as: John Digweed, Erick Morillo and Carl Cox.
